So, moonchild (that's his actual name (or tilltalsnamn in swedish) ) might own the trademark. But atleast Swedish trademark laws https://www.riksdagen.se/sv/dokument-lagar/dokument/svensk-forfattningssaml= ing/varumarkeslag-20101877_sfs-2010-1877 grants usage to other parties as long as "other parties" does not make money off of the name or the product. For him to actually enforce this it has to be registered by the swedish PRV http://www.prv.se and subsequently worldwide by wipo. I've looked through PRVs database and nor does a search on his name, full name or the variations of pale moon turn up any results in a search. Not saying we should keep this in ports tree and keep using the name. Just stating that there is nothing he could do about it unless he registers the trademark and get's it registered (varum=C3=A4rkesskyddat in swedish.). The reaction to the repo in question is also very weird to me, and possibly what worries me the most. He is hurting his own trademarked (heh) product by doing this. 2018-02-07 10:28 GMT+01:00 Kurt Jaeger <lists@opsec.eu>: > Hi! > > > > After your recent harassment of OpenBSD > > > (https://github.com/jasperla/openbsd-wip/issues/86) I decided to > > > investigate our own packaging of Palemoon.
